Overview
About Me
I very recently retired and I'm looking forward to having more time to travel. I have a wide variety of interests and when I travel I like to experience cities as well as smaller towns and natural areas. I live in rural Oregon and enjoy hiking and camping and enthusiastically garden.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I enjoy traveling but I really enjoy meeting people and learning seeing more than the usual tourist sites. I travel as a member of Servas, staying with hosts and Couchsurfing adds another option for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Shared the viewing of the total eclipse with family and friends. It was beyond amazing!
Teach, Learn, Share
Hmmm I can share a lot of information about Oregon, my family moved here in the 1840's and has stuck around ever since. I can tell you about my favorite hiking and camping spots. I can teach you to knit but I'm lefthanded so it's a bit of a long shot that I'm helpful with that!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can tell you why you should visit Oregon and why we're not just "the state between California and Washington"!
